We have a lively PhD programme in economics with a regular inflow of new students each year.You'll benefit from a team of two supervisors with specialist knowledge in your field.You'll join our economics research community, engage with our regular seminar series of external speakers, our brown bag workshop series to explore early research ideas, and with our annual Postgraduate Research Conference where you'll present your research.
